Do you have a Yearning to be Gardening? Our Church campus has some beautiful areas that need some attention. A Master Garden Plan will outline areas to add in plants of color and texture. Come and learn how to trim roses and plant some love and fragrance to add to our church's gardens and quiet spots of reflection.
Call or email Peggy Thomas to let her know you want to join me for garden fun. This is a great way to cope with the Pandemic by getting back to Nature. Nature Nurtures and you find Peace in the garden. Come find God's artwork in plants and enjoy the butterflies and birds visiting sanctuary places at OLM. You will have A New Garden to Love at Church while volunteering once a week in a mask and social distancing among the flowers.Thank you.Mary Ann RushGarden Ministry CoordinatorThe next meeting is Saturday October 24, 2020 at 9:00 am. -

Parking Lot Masses
If you pictured parking lot Masses at Our Lady of Malibu parish as long lines to get in and longer delays to get out, you would be mistaken. Due to brilliant planning by the staff and excellent execution by the volunteers, the drive-in Masses at OLM are the next best thing to live gatherings in church. Just exchanging a smile and a wave with your OLM brothers and sisters helps keep us connected. And, above all, we are able to receive the Eucharist with minimum exposure to the dangers of Covid19.
Public Address System
Although the school outdoor speakers are functioning, you may want to listen to the service over your car radio. Tune in to 87.9 FM with car engine off. Thanks Peter!
Guaranteed admission, however, is on a reservation basis because we are limited to 35 vehicles, so please go to the News page for registeration links and more information on the procedure. Remember, you must re-register each week.

Zoom Mass Option Continues
I am aware that a number of you still do not feel comfortable returning to Mass, whether in the church or the parking lot. Please be assured that we did not forget about you. We will continue our Zoom Mass offering until that time when we are set up for live-streaming inside the church. However, the new version of Zoom Mass will have an added benefit…the Eucharist!
We will Zoom the 10am Mass every Sunday. Please EMAIL FR.MATT for the link and password: frmatt@olmalibu.org. Approximately a half-hour after Mass is complete, I will be distributing Communion to all who care to drive to the church, from 11:30a-12:00p. This will allow you to receive the Lord without the anxiety of being in a crowd. There’s no need to call or email, just make sure to arrive at church within the stated times. If you arrive early, please be patient because we will be working to clear the parking lot and break down our Mass setup. The time was scheduled to allow people to come from the northern and southernmost points of Malibu following Mass. Download Worship Aid -
Garden Group Meets
Professor Brian Jacobs of Pepperdine, Mary Ann Rush, Father Matthew, Carlos Rosales, and Peggy Thomas all masked up in the photo. Judy Jacobs, who took the photo above also worked very hard digging, trimming and planting alongside her husband to beautify Father Ben's old Rose Garden area with new succulents and aloe.Roses were planted around the Virgin Mary Statue outside the Baptismal font. A bench is planned for this area in the future. This is the beginning of a Rose Remembrance Garden. The Perfume Delight Rose was given the sign for Diana Gunther Randall to replace a previous rose planted that was lost. The white rose in the back is for Monsignor Sheriden and it is a John F. Kennedy rose. Two butterflies stopped by when the planting was done and I think Monsignor and Diana are happy with the planting.
Happy Fall You All,
Mary Ann Rush

Mexico Mission Report
Fr. Jesse OMI celebrated a special mass for the 38 graduates of the San Eugenio Scholarship program. Since schools were shut down, all students have had to complete their assignments online to graduate; a further exercise in self-discipline. Many parents and friends were in attendance to recognize their achievement. About half were graduating from a pre-college level and the other half were graduating from college. At the end of the mass each graduate was called forward and a special blessing was administered.
